Butter, for greasing the pan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Two 3-to-4-ounce sweet or spicy Italian sausage links, casings removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella (4 ounces)
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups milk, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons sausage into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the sausage.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Butter, for greasing the pan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Two 3-to-4-ounce sweet or spicy Italian sausage links, casings removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella (4 ounces)
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups milk, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 small green onions, pale green and white parts only, finely sliced to yield 1/4 cup
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Maple syrup, for drizzling
Special equipment: One 12-cup nonstick muffin pan, each cup about 1/2-cup capacity, or a 12-cup popover pan, each cup about 1/2-cup capacity

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter the muffin cups. Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the sausage and break it into 1/4-to-1/2-inch pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook until brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons sausage into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the sausage. Blend the eggs in a blender until frothy, about 15 seconds. Add the milk, flour, green onions, basil, salt and pepper. Blend until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup to just below the rim. Bake, without opening the oven door, until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Place the popovers on a platter and drizzle with maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use a popover pan with straight sides to ensure even cooking. If you don't have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the popovers will be flatter.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before adding the popovers. Otherwise, they will not rise properly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This will cause the popovers to collapse.
  • Serve popovers immediately after baking. They are best enjoyed warm and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Popovers are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you prefer them plain, with butter and jam, or filled with your favorite savory ingredients, popovers are sure to please everyone at the table. With a little practice, you can easily master this classic recipe and enjoy homemade popovers whenever you like.
